Drive report ( hybrid convoy ) 

mixing the convoy into 1:1 of Fb : IM/Fb+ proved to be not a bad idea . Despite couple of refusals / stucks and one popout every one of us had his own take away home massage of joy , shared responsibility and ample time to see and watch the desert in the night. On top of all was the nice chat during the break along with delicious home made Karak tea thankfully offered by Luke 🙏

the sand was super soft in multiple areas and I am not surprised at all after yesterday heat. Nevertheless every one did more than great and I thank all of you guys for sharing the passion. Special thanks @Luke K P who spared no efforts helping and guiding when needed as well as to our intermediates helping as well. 

please feel free to share your comments , pictures or clips . 
 

Cheers and see you soon in another night drive .

The drive was absolutely fantastic — we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it! It offered a great variety of terrain, some of which was completely new to me, especially driving through it at night. There was a mix of technical challenges, sideways slides, ridge riding — in short, all the flavors of off-roading in one go.

 

What made it even more special were the breaks and the great conversations we shared. The chit-chat along with Karak chai added such a warm touch to the whole experience.

 

A big thanks to Luke for the spot-on guidance, and of course, hats off to our amazing lead, Doc, who orchestrated the drive beautifully from start to finish.

 

It was also a pleasure meeting new folks and reconnecting with familiar faces. I’m definitely looking forward to more of these relaxing, stress-busting adventures in the future.

 

See you all soon — have a great weekend
